Few things are funnier than "free speech" bros discovering that freedom implies responsibility, and speech has consequences. And they never seem to learn their lesson, either.

More, I think, that they're determined to become the consequences for everyone else, rather than suffer the like directly themselves.

Verdant Skies look awesome. Thanks for the link! I now demand an RPS review and a Switch port.

The marble "islands" are even more amazing that humans seem to have largely left them alone. I guess the remote location helps.

Yeah, no underwater tunnels or even glass bottomed boats in evidence!

Thanks for the xenon decay article.

I am a little surprised that militant anti-white supremicist groups are not using sites like VOAT as a target list for some muscular (or more) intervention in the alt-right movement.

That suggests to me that there are not currently the levels of militancy that there were in the 60's and 70's with organisations like the Black Panthers and Weather Underground.

That Minesweeper thing is fascinating.
